This makes my homework so much more easier! all my tears got retracted because of your video. but I wanted to know why did we do this. as in why take the magnitude of a cation and use to determine the quantity of an anion?
Good question! The positive (cation) and negative (anion) charges have to balance, or cancel each other out. The magnitude of the positive charge has to equal the magnitude of the negative charge. The whole thing, overall, needs to have a perfect balance of positive and negative charges. And I’m glad you aren’t crying anymore :) don’t let ALEKS make you sad!
im literally doing like 20 aleks rn due at 11;59 and your videos help so much
You explain this better than my General Chem professor. you explain it all, everything I'm learning in this class which I do NOT enjoy a lot better
Happy to make chemistry less miserable for you 😂
